With more weapons to work with, Jameis Winston's poised for success in 2017

Jamies Winston has already accomplished a lot in his young career. At just 23-years-old, Winston has become the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 4,000 yards in his first two seasons under center. While he obviously still has things to work on,it’s no secret that Tampa Bay’s stud signal caller is poised for an even better 2017 campaign as long as the Buccaneers and secure the right weapons for him.

“Jameis Winston has one Pro Bowl nod under his belt already in what’s been a solid start to his NFL career,” Dasilva said. “He’s still not a top-tier quarterback, but that will change next season. Winston has struggled to protect the ball in his first two seasons. He’s turned it over 41 times in 32 career games, including 33 interceptions and eight lost fumbles. The fumbling issue was an even bigger problem this past season, losing six of his 10 fumbles.”

“Mistakes like that simply can’t happen if you want to be an elite quarterback in the NFL, and it’s certainly something Winston will work on this offseason,” he added. “If he can correct those issues, his 50 career touchdown passes will look a whole lot better. Expect Winston to have around 28 touchdowns and fewer than 13 interceptions next season, which would certainly be deemed a massive improvement.”

If Winston can work on narrowing his interceptions down and the Buccaneers can find the perfect No. 2 receiver to compliment him, then teams across the NFL should definitely keep an eye out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this upcoming season.

Tom Brady will be taking over a Bucs offense that ranked third overall last season despite the erratic play of quarterback Jameis Winston, who finished 2019 with 5,109 passing yards to go along with 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions.

Despite the number of turnovers, Winston actually set the franchise record for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a season. And while Tom Brady is himself a member of the 5,000-yard passing club, he may have a better shot of breaking Winston's touchdown record in 2020.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up two running backs in April's NFL draft in Ke'Shawn Vaughn (third round) and Raymond Calais (seventh round) to help bolster a backfield that lost Peyton Barber this offseason in free agency.

Vaughn and Calais will be joining incumbent starter Ronald Jones, who finished his 2019 sophomore campaign with 724 rushing yards to go along with six touchdowns. But the Bucs could definitely use an experienced veteran back to help their offense and new quarterback Tom Brady, and one name that keeps coming up is former Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman.

The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted sports leagues around the world, and if and when the NFL kicks off its 2020 season, one of the proposed ideas to ensure public safety is playing games in empty stadiums. While that might not be the ideal situation for either the league or its fans, it's an option that's on the table at this point.
